Description

Mendoza may be known around the world for it’s tasty Malbec (and with good reason), but wine is not all it has to offer. This Argentine province is also a popular destination for outdoor lovers.

Located just across the Andes from neighboring Chile, Mendoza has a mild climate year-round. This makes it a particularly popular destination during the winter months here in Argentina.

Our venue for this multi-level rock climbing trip is the Atuel Canyon in San Rafael, Mendoza. Known as an adventure sports hot spot, San Rafael’s outdoor activities range from river rafting and kayaking to horseback riding, hiking and mountain biking.

The Atuel Canyon is one of the best venues in all of Argentina for winter climbing. When it’s too cold to climb further south, this is the place to be. Plus, with climbing routes from beginner to advanced, the Atuel Canyon is ideal for climbers of all levels.

Our climbing community here in San Rafael is a warm and friendly bunch, and we would love to have you come and climb with us. Grab a friend or come solo. We will be waiting for you here in the Atuel.

About the guide

Mountain Guide

Mountaineering and climbing are the essence of my daily activities, I practice them, study them, design training and accompany those who have the motivation to experience and perfect them. I have been working in Los Glaciares National Park since 2013. I also work in the Central Andes, and as an climbing instructor for several clubs and associations. I climbed in the central Andes of Argentina, in Patagonia Argentina, in Brazil, in Chile and in France. I achieved significant achievements in the sport and alpine climbing in Argentina as ascents of several needles of Patagonia Argentina including Cerro Fitz Roy.

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
